[Wikidata-l] Great editor for Wikipedia infoboxes/templates connected to Wikidata

[David Cuenca]

User:Vlsergey from ruwiki presented yesterday at the Wikidata Meetup a new
wonderful infobox editor for Wikipedia infoboxes:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Edit_directly_from_infocard_.2F_infobox

And also an improved authority template which you can see in action at Obama
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0,_%D0%91%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA#.D0.A1.D1.81.D1.8B.D0.BB.D0.BA.D0.B8

Plus some interfaces for editing person info, taxons, and work/edition
source info:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2014/07#WEF_gadgets_update

I think these are great improvements for editing wikidata from wikipedia
and I hope you can spread the word in your local wikis about these
wonderful tools.

Thanks!

[Wikidata-l] WikiProject sum of all paintings

[Maarten Dammers]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a new project. Let's get all paintings on Wikidata! I could 
use some help. I already imported 4 museums in the Netherlands, but 
that's of course just a start. More information at 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings .

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata, Wikibase

[Lars Aronsson]

Here at the Wikimania conference, there is a lot of talk
about Wikidata and Wikibase coming to Commons, but it is
not clear how or when. Since it's very abstract still, it
is not clear whether one should be happy or scared.

I see that interwiki links for Commons categories can in
some cases be covered by Wikidata. I just removed all the
interwiki links and "Sister Wikipedia" links from the
Category:Sweden. The result was not obvious at first, as
all interwiki links seem to still be there, now pulled
from Wikidata. But now they go to Category:Sweden on
Wikipedia and not to the article Sweden.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3ASweden&diff=131112465&oldid=109326584

Is this something we should start to do on a large scale?
Or something we should avoid at all cost, because we
prefer to link Commons categories to Wikipedia articles?

It is confusing that even though Wikidata claims to represent
concepts, the country Sweden has two different nodes for
the Wikipedia article, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34
and the category, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4368475
both representing the same country.

Can I find out how many pages on Commons pull interwiki
links from Wikidata? Did this count increase by one,
when I made that edit?

The category page also contains short descriptions in a
handfull of languages (en, de, fr, it, ja, nb, sv, fi, uk),
but these could also be better served from Wikidata.
What do I write in the Category:Sweden page to pull the
short text descriptions from Wikidata?

Wikidata currently has short text descriptions of Sweden
in only 4 languages (da, de, nb, sv) and they differ
from the short text descriptions on Commons. For example,
in nb (Norwegian bokmål), Wikidata says "Kategori:Sverige"
whereas Commons only says "Sverige". Shouldn't all
categories that pull their interwiki links from Wikidata
also pull the short text descriptions from Wikidata?

Since this category represents a geographic entity, its
center coordinate should also be given as an "Object
location", which is currently missing.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Object_location

But perhaps that information should rather be inserted
into Wikidata? Even better than the center coordinate would
be the border outline from OpenStreetMap? In OSM this is
relation 52822, which also provides the name in many
different languages,
www.openstreetmap.org/relation/52822

Wow!  This and the WikiData game are two of the greatest things I've
seen in the past month.   Thank you Vlsergey for working on this.   SJ

The first link Q34 has a link to the commons category for Sweden.

I can see the distinction that Q34 is about a country while Q4368475 is about 
pages on wikimedia related to content. The descriptive vocabulary for each 
type of entity is distinct, i.e. there are different descriptive attributes 
for countries and category pages.
